DevOps Positioned For Takeoff In 2016?

Staying Ahead In A Digital World

The demands of doing business in a digital world require organizations to react quickly with new functionality to stay with – or ahead of – the competition. So, DevOps is not just the work and technological tools that help businesses be more nimble with technology, it’s a “philosophy,” or “cultural shift that merges operations with development,” according to Gartner.

"In response to the rapid change in business today, DevOps can help organizations that are pushing to implement a bimodal strategy (focusing on both stability and agility) to support their digitalization efforts," said Gartner research director Laurie Wurster. "Digital business is essentially software, which means that organizations that expect to thrive in a digital environment must have an improved competence in software delivery."
